• Three-Layer Backfat Measurement: One-key operation supports measurement of up to three backfat layers.
• 4–35 mm Measurement Range: Suitable for routine backfat evaluation in pigs and breeding sows.
• ±1 mm Accuracy: Provides practical numerical data for farm body-condition management.
• 99 Measurement Records: Stores measurement data by serial number for convenient comparison and management.
• Sunlight-Readable Display: Digital tube display helps operators read results clearly in outdoor farm environments.
• Protected Probe Structure: Fully enclosed probe design helps protect against water spray and splashing during routine use.
• USB Charging: Built-in rechargeable battery supports convenient charging through the USB interface.
• Automatic Power Saving: The unit automatically switches off after approximately two minutes without operation.

• Sow backfat thickness measurement
• Gilt body-condition evaluation
• Gestation feeding adjustment
• Pre-farrowing body-condition monitoring
• Post-weaning sow condition evaluation
• Breeding stock selection
• Pig nutrition management
• Commercial swine farm production management

• Fully charge the scanner before routine farm measurements.
• Select a consistent anatomical measurement point according to the farm's sow body-condition management protocol.
• Apply sufficient ultrasound coupling gel or suitable coupling medium to eliminate air between the probe and skin.
• Place the probe firmly and evenly against the animal without excessive pressure.
• Press the Test button and wait for the numerical measurement result.
• Repeat measurements at the same location when tracking changes in an individual animal.
• Clean the probe surface after use according to farm biosecurity procedures.
• Avoid immersing the complete scanner in water even though the probe structure is designed to resist spray and splashing.
• Use the wrist lanyard during operation to reduce the risk of accidental dropping.
• Store the scanner in a clean, dry and protected environment when not in use.

Q: What is the Kaixin UT01 mainly used for?
A: It is designed for fast and non-invasive measurement of backfat thickness in pigs, especially breeding sows and gilts.

Q: What is the measurement range?
A: The specified backfat measurement range is 4 to 35 mm.

Q: What is the measurement accuracy?
A: The specified measurement accuracy is approximately ±1 mm under proper operating conditions.

Q: Can it measure multiple backfat layers?
A: Yes. The UT01 supports one-key measurement of up to three backfat layers.

Q: Does the operator need to interpret an ultrasound image?
A: No. The instrument calculates the measurement and displays the backfat thickness directly as a numerical value.

Q: Can measurement records be stored?
A: Yes. The unit can store up to 99 measurement records by serial number, and the stored data remains available after shutdown.

Q: Why should sow backfat be measured regularly?
A: Backfat data provides an objective reference for evaluating sow body condition and helps support feeding, breeding and reproductive management decisions.

Q: Is ultrasound coupling gel required?
A: Yes. A suitable coupling medium should be used to remove air between the probe and skin and improve measurement stability.

Q: Is the UT01 suitable for commercial pig farms?
A: Yes. Its compact size, one-hand operation, direct numerical reading and stored measurement records make it suitable for routine sow body-condition monitoring in commercial swine farms.
